He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Luckily, Qi Xiaoyan is timid; otherwise, she probably would have already signed the contract and given them the money, completely falling for their scam and possibly being forced to participate in some random commercial performances.
"Then I'll focus on my studies." Qi Xiaoyan said with a hint of melancholy, "Sister Tian, I want to sing. I want more people to hear me sing."
“That’s why you came to Yanjing! Otherwise, why would you leave your hometown to come here?” He Tiantian said. “The shop isn’t open yet, and you don’t have enough funds. Besides, you don’t have any good songs or tunes, so it’s not a good time to release a cassette tape. Let’s wait a bit longer.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister Tiantian." Qi Xiaoyan seemed to have found her pillar of support.
Niu Dajun works very hard at home, and Qi Xiaoyan doesn't want to bother him with these things. Now that He Tiantian is here, Qi Xiaoyan has someone to confide in, and she can also get a lot of very good advice.
This is also one of the reasons why Qi Xiaoyan so eagerly wanted He Tiantian to come to Yanjing.
Qi Xiaoyan has been grateful more than once that meeting He Tiantian was the greatest luck of her life. As long as she stays by Tiantian's side, everything she wants will come true and everything will go smoothly.
The child played for a while and then got a little sleepy.
Qi Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Sister Tian, take the kids and rest. I'm taking my two naughty kids home."
"Why don't you rest here? Why go back?" He Tiantian asked. "Come on, don't leave."
"It's okay, it's very close, just a few steps to home," Qi Xiaoyan said. "You get some rest, I'll come visit you again tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll see you off." He Tiantian got up.
"No need, it's hot outside, you shouldn't come out." Qi Xiaoyan knew how uncomfortable it was to travel by car. When she took the train to Yanjing, she rested for several days before she recovered.
"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you," He Tiantian said. "Be careful on the road."
When Qi Xiaoyan went outside, the men had already tidied up.
"Brother Dajun, the child is sleepy. Let's go back first and let Sister Tiantian and the others get some rest. We'll come back tomorrow," Qi Xiaoyan said. With outsiders around, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie might not feel anything, but Jiang Lifang and Grandma Wang might feel a little uncomfortable.
Holding his drowsy son, Niu Dajun said, "Okay, let's go back first, and we'll have a good chat tomorrow."
Niu Dajun put the child in the car and drove home with his wife.
Hua Shan smiled and said, "I'm going back too."
"Then I won't see you off," Huo Yingjie said. "I'll treat you well tomorrow, and then we can have a proper chat."
Hua Shan was somewhat excited; his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain, and he had earned Huo Yingjie's praise.
Thanks to the cultivation method given to him by Huo Yingjie, Hua Shan worked during the day and traveled around, and practiced at night. His progress was so rapid that it was even greater than the progress he had made in the past ten years.
"Brother Huo, you should go and rest too," Li Yunzhong said. "Once things are settled here, I'll go too."
"Thank you, Yunzhong," Huo Yingjie said. "Since I brought you here, I consider you a brother. Tiantian and the others have already arrived, so you don't need to worry about who will cook for me. Pack your things tomorrow and go back to your hometown to bring your mother here."
"Thank you, Brother Huo." Li Yunzhong was very moved. The thing he couldn't let go of most when he came to Yanjing was his mother.
Originally, I planned to settle down in Yanjing and then bring my mother over.
He hadn't even spoken yet, but Brother Huo had already said it.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, brothers," Huo Yingjie said. "I wanted to help you get revenge before, but you didn't want to. So I'll save it for you. You can take revenge yourself when you grow up. Just make sure you keep a low profile when you go back this time. Even if someone provokes you, don't fight with them. Just bring your mother over."
Li Yunzhong nodded and said, "I've got it, Brother Huo."
"Yes, remember that, remember that," Huo Yingjie said. "I believe you've grown a lot after that incident. Being tactful doesn't mean losing your true self, but rather that you can handle interpersonal relationships more effectively. Take your time in the future, don't rush."
"I've got it, Brother Huo." Li Yunzhong nodded repeatedly. He had suffered such a great loss, and although he didn't regret what he did, if he hadn't had such a bad relationship with his colleagues and superiors, he probably wouldn't have done such a good deed, and no one would have protected him.
People all grow and mature.
Li Yunzhong is also one of them.
Huo Yingjie went inside to rest.
The two children were already asleep, so He Tiantian turned the air conditioner up a bit and covered their stomachs with small blankets.
"We've finally got you all here," Huo Yingjie said. "We've been waiting every day, and my neck is getting longer than a giraffe's."
He Tiantian pushed away the large head pressing against her chest and said, "You've worked hard. Now you should rest well and see if you can shrink your neck in."
Huo Yingjie knew that He Tiantian was rejecting him.
He knew the car ride was tiring, so he held Tian Tian and fell asleep.
When He Tiantian woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. The temperature outside was a little lower than at noon, but it was still very hot.
Huo Yingjie and the children were playing in the other room, trying to keep them from disturbing He Tiantian, who was resting.
Jiang Lifang and Grandma Wang are also up.
If it weren't still quite hot outside, I would have gone for a stroll in the yard long ago.
After Huo Yingjie arrived, he bought some flowers and plants and planted them according to the patterns of some spirit-gathering arrays. Even though they were not easy to survive in the summer, all the flowers and plants that Huo Yingjie planted survived.
Jiang Lifang likes this grand courtyard and the flowers and plants inside.
"Yingjie, we're going to the old house tomorrow, are you coming?" Jiang Lifang asked.
Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "Mom, I can't go. Today is already considered a day off. I'll visit Grandpa and Grandma on the weekend."
“Alright, it’s better if you don’t go,” Jiang Lifang said. “When you go there this time, your aunt will definitely bring up the matter of opening a store with shares. It’s not good for you to be there. Tian Tian and I will go instead.”
In families like the Huo family, minor squabbles between the women are usually left unattended by the men, and do not affect their relationships.
"Yes, it's really not convenient for me to go over there," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "Mom, you came over precisely for this reason!"
“Yes, there are some things that Tian Tian can’t say, but I can,” Jiang Lifang said. “If I didn’t come over, your aunt would eat Tian Tian alive. Tian Tian is stubborn, and it would always be inappropriate to argue with her.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mom," Huo Yingjie said. "Mom, you haven't seen the two shops that Tian Tian has built. They're really great. Giving them 20% is more than enough."
Jiang Lifang was intrigued and really wanted to go see her. She said, "Tian Tian is probably awake too. Let's go see her together, so I'll know what's going on."
"Sure," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "It'll be a quick drive there."
